Lips: plumping serums, how and why to use them

gLip surgeries have always been among the most requested in aesthetic medicine, but there are also those who, for a plumped and nourished mouth, do not give in to fillers: for this reason, alternatively, there are plumping serums that act by giving good volume, tone and fullnesswithout total invasiveness.

Plumping lip serums, why try them

As has been proven in a research conducted by the medical journal American Society of Plastic Surgeons and appeared in the February 2019 issue, lips lose thickness over time as they age. To be precise, the female ones lose 41% of thickness while the male ones less, about 33. The cause is in the reduction of the soft tissue of the upper lip.

The reduction is due to hormonal changes: female lips in particular are particularly sensitive to estrogen which, physiologically, decreases over time, causing a thinning of the mouth and the presence of fine lines and folds.
